NAWSA SUBJECT FILE Dudley, Mrs. Guilford Romeo, a guest at the Americana, lands momentarily on his master's stomach. He had several friends at the hotel. Most Miami Beach hotel give guests choice of three or four dining rooms, serve at any hour, anywhere on premises. Seventy-five major attractions in state, like Africa, U. S. A., outside Boca Raton, bring in $100,000,000 a year. PALM BEACH At Mrs. Wiley Reynold's pool, built in the 1920's for close to a million, Dudleys meet Mario Braggiotti and the Duc di San Miniato. Pool is skimmed daily, flushed out weekly, but no one has used it for five years Guilford Dudley can spend only week ends, three winter weeks in Palm Beach. Jane is there three months. During his visits, they fish, sail, pay tennis "to last an entire season." Produced by HENRY EHRLICH In the vast Worth Avenue apartment of painter Channing Hare, right, Jane Dudley and Hare discuss art with collector Chester Dale, left. Society's last outpost PALM BEACH still caters to those who are blue-blooded and rich. Here, in this last of the splendid resorts, a few hundred families representing, according to the Florida Development Commission, "three fourths of the wealth of the United States," live each winter a casual, comfortable existence. Their world apart (shown on these pages) has little to do with a city not unlike an other resort area; a city with tourists, with middle-class business and professional people who make up the bulk of the permanent population, and a city with those who serve all the others. Perhaps the handsomest couple in Palm Beach's inner circle are Jane and Guilford Dudley. Aristocratic (the first Guilford Dudley married Lady Jane Grey, who for nine days in 1553 was Queen of England) and rich (he heads a life-insurance company in Nashville, Tenn.) they spend only part of the year in Palm Beach. "We come here to play," says Jane Dudley. And because they are both vigorous and popular, they play hard all day and often well into the night. Their friends are the oldest families: their clubs, the most exclusive. And yet by inner-circle standards, the Dudleys live simply. Their four-bedroom house and the beach house across the street are easily tended by two servants and a nurse, and on Mademoiselle's day out, Jane sits with the baby. She finds time for reading the classics, for music and for the Society of the Four Arts (though she would like to own "any Gainsborough," she hasn't bough pictures, because they would "replace the ancestors"). She is a habitual first- nighter at the Royal Poinciana Playhouse. Active in charities, she has served on the committee for about every Palm Beach charity ball. continued PALM BEACH continued It is rich, but never gaudy In Palm Beach, simplicity is another word for elegance. It is true that many taxicabs are Cadillacs, and 14 golf courses are found within a quarter hour of Worth Avenue. But there are no brilliant neon business signs, only signs marked "Private" (left). No real Palm Beach socialite would be caught dead in furs or jewels during the day. Jane Dudley's "uniform" is a bright silk blouse and slacks -- good all day through cocktail time. Furs, Jane says, are only for cold weather; jewels are for balls and special occasions. "That is when all of us really go to town," she says, "and put on every stitch of finery we own." Dudleys fondle baby Trevania in front of portrait of At Everglades Club (limited to about 1,500 members), Jane sees husband, a local champion, lose in doubles match.

On sunny deck of their beach house (two bedrooms, bath, kitchen), Jane makes day's plans. She may refuse half a dozen invitations for each she accepts. 32 Guilford in racing colors. A. Atwater Kent, Jr., picks up Jane at her house for an afternoon of yachting with Guilford and a few friends. The Negro in Florida Dr. Brown's wife helped organize these mixed Congregational Christian Fellowship services. All-white church rejected her. Restricted beach section is jammed in the summer. Whites and Negroes are kept apart, but Cubans may use either beach. War veteran John Brown of Miami is the only Negro ophthalmologist in Florida, operates on white and Negro patients. One man's progress...and the fight ahead Dr. John Brown is a Negro eye surgeon in Miami. He fought for his country in Italy in World War II with the 92nd Division. Twice wounded, he bears jagged shrapnel scars on his body. In the fast-growing city he calls home, he faces a bewildering complex of social customs: Dr. Brown can -- and does -- operate on the eyes of white men in Miami, but he can't sit next to them in the movies. He can golf on Miami's municipal course, but he can't use the clubhouse and restaurant. He can rent a room in a big Miami Beach hotel and swim in the pool, but he can't use a "white" drinking fountain in the Dade County Courthouse. With Mrs. Brown and their four children, he lives next door to a white man in mutual neighborly respect. They are distinctly unwelcome at a church nearby, where the congregation is all white. In his 22-foot cabin cruiser, he can travel to a nearby island and swim from the beach with other boatmen, regardless of color. But at scores of mainland marinas, he cannot rent dock space. In one women's dress shop, Mrs. Brown can buy dresses, but she can't try them on. In another shop, she can do both. At an outdoor snack bar, Mrs. Brown can sit down and be served. At an inside lunch counter, she can buy coffee to take out, but she can't sit down and drink it. Dr. Brown is on the attending staff of the Jackson Memorial Hospital. He may use the operating room. He consults with white physicians. The line in which patients wait for admittance is unsegregated, but after admission, Negro patients are kept in segregated wards. This quixotic reaction to the dark pigmentation of Dr. Brown's all-American skin cuts deep into his soul. It makes him bitter at times, but Dr. Brown quickly recovers his quiet, easy humor. Dr. Brown is from Wewoka, Okla., his wife from Nashville, Tenn. They met at the University of Wisconsin, where he prepared for his medical career. Three years ago, they moved to Miami. "It's the only permanent home I've known since 1939," he says. "We are not satisfied. Segregation is here. But you can't run from it. A man should work for progress where he is, not run." Dr. Brown is on the local executive board of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He works for integration, but he has learned to cut small corners in the daily fight. He drives a new white Cadillac, not because he wants to show off, but because he has learned it fetches services denied him otherwise. Dr. Brown has found some improvements in Miami in recent years, but in most of Florida outside Miami, the following rules apply: Negroes are not allowed in most movies, indoors or drive-ins. Where they are admitted, segregated seating or parking is enforced. Negroes are not admitted to white hotels and motels. Negroes do not sit where they please on public conveyances in most Florida cities, but the Tampa bus line is integrated, and a boycott in Tallahassee resulted in some easing of the rigid "back-of-the-bus" rules for Negroes. Only two Negroes attend white classes in the state's entire educational system, at the graduate level at the University of Florida. From the Negro's viewpoint, some progress has been made. He can vote without molestation in most of the state's 67 counties. Almost 145,000 Negroes registered last fall, but this was a drop from the 148,000 of 1956. Negro leaders haven't made the most of this access to the ballot box. Nowhere near the maxi- continued 34 The herky-jerky pitching style and gritty assurance of Lou Burdette make him one of baseball's most feared and most popular players. Rivals charge that Burdette still throws the illegal spitball. The classic lefty, Warren Spahn, is already a baseball immortal. His flawless delivery and gambler's nerves are enough to cow most batters, but Spahn has even more: He never stops thinking. The BRAVES are rich in PITCHERS THE MILWAUKEE BRAVES' pitching staff forms the richest province in the empire of talent owned by the National League champions. No other team in the league can match the superb hurlers that Manager Fred Haney calls on to start--or finish--a game. Two great starting pitchers, the fluid Warren Spahn and the nerve-racking Lou Burdette, give Milwaukee a big jump in the 1959 race. Spahn won 22 games last year and Burdette took 20. Their pitching helped the Braves to win the pennant with a total of 92 victories, enough so they finished eight games head of the Pittsburgh Pirates. In addition to the two old pros, Milwaukee has gathered a bright collection of youngsters and experienced relief men. continued 75 BRAVES PITCHERS continued Big in the bull pen The relaxed attitude of the bull-pen tenants above is a pose, for The men sitting in poses of apparent nonchalance (above) are Milwaukee pitchers sweating out a game against Cincinnati at Crosley Field. Their arms give the Braves the bull-pen depth and strength that are the team's best assets. When they go to work (right), opposing batters know that there are no patsies throwing. A staff once distinguished principally by Spahn, Burdette and Gene Conley now includes such added starters as Carl Willey, Bob Rush, Joey Jay, Juan Pizarro and Bob Buhl. Don McMahon, Humberto Robinson and Bob Trowbridge are the relief crew. If Milwaukee decides to trade any one of them, the Braves' bargaining position will be a strong one. Carl Willey, 28, pitched four shutouts and posted a record of nine and seven. His big fastball won crucial midseason games. when trouble flares, a wave of the hand can throw any one of them into the crisis. Bob Rush, 33, won 10 and lost six. The tall (6'5") fastballer won big games in the late season. Don McMahon, 29, a burly speed thrower, is the Braves' top relief man. He pitched only 59 innings, won seven games and lost two. Juan Pizarro, 22, flashy young Puerto Rican, struck out 84 batters, won six and lost four, after coming up from Wichita. Joey Jay, 23, had a seven-and-five year, is regarded as hottest young Braves pitcher. continued BRAVES PITCHERS Continued Coch Whitelow Wyatt, left, advises Carl Wiley Bob Buhl's shoulder injury cut him short last year Lou Burdette gets grim when he works In the line-up of fine pitchers, there's none finer than Spahn, with his record of 246 games won! The Milwaukee Braves have a rare climate for the care and feeding of winning pitches. It is an atmosphere composed of a baseball legend, cautious guidance, young hustle and memories of the 1958 World Series. All of it begins with the great Warren Spahn. Few men in baseball have ever preformed so brilliantly. with a throwing style that fuses physics and poetry. Spahn has won 246 games since joining the Braves in 1942. He is the only left-hander in history to win at least 20 games in each of his nine seasons, and his 43 shutout victories are a National League record Spahn, who will be 38 on April 23, is also the manner of man who influences his fellows in ways that do not show on score cards. Thus, he is the badling Huck Funn who zips about on a motor scooter under the Milwaukee County Stadium grandstands, and he is also the canny consultant to teammates who are dickering with sponsors about testimonial fees. When asked about his mental approach to baseball, he says sharply, "I am a raw egotist," and at once the statement becomes simple fact. Above all, he is the superbly disciplined athlete, and the Braves pay him as much money as any other pitcher in history (about $65,000) to keep his ego raw. Baseball's Hall of Fame undoubtedly will put him beside Cy Young, Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson, Lefty Grove, and Carl Hubbell. In short, it is impossible to escape Spahn's presence. The immediate extension of Spahn is his brash crony, Lou Burdette, ON EVERY HAPPY OCCASION, A TELEGRAM SAYS IT BEST!

Wire cash- anywhere, in minutes, with a Telegraphic Money Order Warren Spahn's relentless concentration rubs off on all his teammates 33, the delighted villain of spitball arguments. Burdette, who has pitched 24 scoreless World Series innings, still fans the fires of numerous hassles with his maddening delivery while winning games. These two pitchers, along with the chesty Don McMahon, provide a bracing atmosphere for their mates. In the how-to-do-it departments, there stands Whitlow Wyatt, the calm and quiet-spoken pitching coach, who works closely with Manager Fred Haney in handling all those golden arms. Wyatt, a former Dodger pitcher, joined the Braves last year after three years as a coach with Philadelphia. Wyatt goes about his work slowly but surely. "I might watch a man for half the season before I'll ask him to change anything," he says. Wyatt's own right arm went dead with a single pitch in 1943, and he has a mortal fear of haste. Last year, some of his painfully tooled changes brought these results: a better hop on Carl Wiley's high fastball: a smoother motion for the towering Bob Rush, and a change-up screwball for Juan Pizarro. In the case of Bob Buhl, who suffered a shoulder injury in May after getting four quick wins, Wyatt could only prescribe more workouts. Buhl finished the year with a five-and-two mark. Wyatt feels that Buhl, the pitcher who led the league in 1957 with 18 and seven, has his arm in shape again. When Manager Haney discusses 1959, he remembers that only the aging Spahn and Burdette went more than 150 innings last year. So he says, "The others are going to get a full load." "The others" include Rush, a veteran making a comeback in Milwaukee after a long and brilliant toil with the Chicago Cubs; Carl Wiley, a rookie of the year, whos dedicated approach to his business is refreshing; Joey Jay, a bonus baby whose earned-run average for 12 games was a remarkable 2.13, and Pizarro, the exciting side-armer who got 84 strikeouts in 97 innings. The Braves also hope that 23-year-old Vic Rehm, a left-hander from their Wichita farm, who had finished military service, will stick in the majors. Adding to all this, the Milwaukee pitches have Del Crandall, the catcher who has been in five All-Star games. In all, the array and the atmosphere might bring grudging envy from the likes of a Casey Stengel. What must be a goad is Milwaukee's showing in the 1958 World Series. The Braves had the Yankees down, three games to one, and then lost three in a row- and the top prize. The final analysis showed that the Braves did not hit when money was up. The noisy burghers who break attendance records at Country Stadium need not remind their heroes of 1958 All the Braves know about it. Their pitchers are the best reason the team will get an opportunity in October to prove that Milwaukee, not New York, is the baseball empire of the era.

GUILFORD DUDLEY Mrs. Guilford Dudley of Nashville, Tennessee, ex-president of the Tennessee [te?] Suffrage Association is a woman in whom the traditional beauty and charm of the southerner is added to the keen intelligence, and alertness, the social conscience, and the fellow-feeling with the woes of others which combine to make the ideal suffrage worker. When America first entered the war Mrs. Dudley was appointed on the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee by Secretary of the Treasury, William G. McAdoo. She worked during all three drives as state chairman of the Tennessee Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, which raised $9,000,000 of the third loan. In recognition of her remarkable work in the state, Mrs. McAdoo, chairman of the National Woman's Committee, urged Mrs. Dudley to broaden her scope of work. In her letter congratulating Mrs. Dudley on "the inspiring Liberty Loan campaign in Tennessee" Mrs. McAdoo said: "Let me express for my committee and for myself personally the privilege we feel in being associated with you in this service for our country." Some time ago Mrs. Dudley led the suffrage section of a parade in honor of Gen. Wood. Her fellow-marchers were delighted to hear the General say to her a little later: "You march like a real soldier. When I saw you passing I said, "There goes a girl that would want to sing Tipperary all the way to the front." And it is like a girl Mrs. Dudley looks, with her slender grace and her southern charm of manner. "I am not a born suffragist," says Mrs. Dudley. "In fact, I was an anti, but reading and studying showed me that it was only through enfranchisement that women could come into their own. I studied what the women have done in the western states for social legislation, and it seems to me that we must have the vote of women for the help of women and children workers, if for no other reason. But I also believe that not only does the world need woman's vote, but that woman needs the ballot for her own development." Mrs. Guilford Dudley Tenn.
